America’s love affair with pickup trucks has been happening for nearly a century and Ford has played a critical role from the beginning. The Blue Oval makes a big deal of the statement that its full-size F-Series has been the best-selling vehicle in the USA for 47 consecutive years. The mid-size Ranger arrived in 1982 and disappeared from the US market from 2012 until 2019, when it returned as an Australian-developed truck riding on the T6 platform, which also underpins the Bronco.
